How is it calculated?

These markers are an editorial estimate calculated automatically from the perfume's real accords and their intensity, following the classic reading of scent families (hesperidics and aromatics shine in summer and at the office, ambers and gourmands in winter and in the evening…). They do not come from user votes and do not replace a test on skin.

Why choose one… or the other?

Why choose Palo Santo

  • Facets Herod does not have: caramel, palo santo, milk.
  • Its formula is out of the ordinary — palo santo, milk are among the least common notes in our database.

Why choose Herod

  • It brings what the other lacks — tobacco, pepper, vanilla.
  • Warmth wins out, with warm spicy and gourmand in support.
  • We have no price recorded at our retailers yet.
  • Less at ease in the “spring” context according to our calculated profile.

The verdict

  • Most enveloping

    Herod — signature carried by warm spicy and gourmand

  • Most original

    Palo Santo — its notes are rarer in our catalogue (palo santo, milk)
